Long nails provide unlimited space for design. They can be of any color with a completely insane or very modest design. The main thing to remember is that manicure should not be on its own, but combined with the image. We will present you the most relevant and interesting design options and ideas.
Features
What girl does not dream of long and beautiful nails. But often its own nail plate is not strong enough. Technologies such as gel strengthening or building come to the rescue here. Today, almost any beauty can make nails of any shape and length in a couple of hours.
As for the features of manicure for long nails, it is worth noting that there are no special restrictions. You can choose the nude varnish options or make the manicure very bright and catchy. On sharp long nails, both the first and second options will look great.
Fashionable shades and combinations
Every season, designers dictate to us fashion for certain combinations and colors. Whether to follow this trend or to remain true to one’s preferences is for everyone to decide for himself. But there are options that do not lose their relevance at any time.
Dark tones
The choice of shade in this case is unlimited. It can be either green, gray or blue gamma. Such a manicure looks especially noble and stylish in a matte finish.If you add a specific design, you can create a very interesting and original image.
Many are afraid of such a saturation in color (especially black shades), but this is in vain. With accurate quality performance, such nails look very stylish.
Nude shades
This palette will always be relevant. Natural tones are perfect for any look and style. In addition, with a monophonic design, you can not worry about the fact that the manicure will look too bright with a long sharp form.
If you want to add personality, you can dilute such a gentle manicure design with rhinestones or floral designs.
Red
Long red nails are a classic of the genre. They go well with both a strict business suit and an evening dress. Such a daring design gives out in its owner a bold and strong nature. A variety of shades allows you to choose a tone that matches exactly your ideas about a beautiful red manicure.
Contrast combinations
Today it is very fashionable to combine different shades and colors. And here, contrasting combinations look very bright and unusual. You need to select them based on the basic colors of the wardrobe or accessories that you wear every day.
Moreover, you can combine both two and three colors. If you are at a loss to choose ideal options, then use a "design circle". With it, even a beginner will find those options that will look perfect on your fingers.
Monochrome palette
Using different tones of the same color scheme, you can create a unique manicure. Moreover, they can be applied not only to different fingers, but also on one nail. It all depends on what effect you want to achieve.
One of the advantages of using monochrome gamma is its ease of selection. You just need to choose the main color and experiment with its saturation and depth.
Long sharp nails design
Decorating sharp long nails deserves special attention. After all, for this you created (or grew) such a form to demonstrate their beauty and grace. There are many options. Every year, nail design masters come up with newer and newer versions of manicure for long sharp nails.
Mirror Manicure
Very effective option. At the same time, it is important to choose the base color correctly if you want to realize it with the help of rubbing. There is an easier way - just buy a varnish with this effect. But the masters give preference to the first option, as in this case there will be more opportunities for design. By rubbing in different colors, we get a variety of final options.
If the mirror nails seem too bright to you, then it is not necessary to use this technique on all fingers. It will be enough to decorate with such a design only one or two nails. In this case, the manicure will turn out original and restrained.
Imitation Gemstones
What girl does not like sparkling pebbles. They can show off not only in expensive rings and earrings, but also on the nails. Of course, it is impractical to attach real gems to the fingers. They will not last long there, but the cost of manicure will be impressive.
Rhinestones and other stones imitating real jewels perfectly cope with this task. Such a manicure can hardly be called everyday. It is more suitable for a special solemn occasion or even your own wedding.
With sparkles
Their size and color is determined individually in each case. Whether you want to decorate the entire nail with rather large sparkles with a rich shine or just want to create a soft shine through the use of small elements, in any case, you can choose exactly the option that will be acceptable and relevant for you.
With pictures
Their diversity is so great that it makes no sense to list all the options available.It is worth noting only that the drawings can be thematic in nature (New Year, Halloween, space, fruit and more) or be quite abstract.
Geometry
How difficult and interesting it will be depends on the imagination and skill of the master. Before you go on a manicure, you can pick up an interesting option and show it to the master. In this case, you don’t have to explain on your fingers what kind of design you have in mind.
Geometric figures and drawings can create a fairly strict image and be a real work of art. Often they are supplemented with sparkles to focus on individual details.
French and moon manicure
French manicure has long been considered a classic. On long sharp nails, he looks especially impressive. White tips with a beige base create a romantic delicate look. Its huge plus is versatility.
You can decorate it with various floral and lace motifs. In addition to the classic design, the jacket today can be performed in almost any color. This provides a field for experimentation and the manifestation of one's own imagination.
French is often combined with a moon manicure. In a nude design, this design completely imitates the natural color of the nail. After all, the tip and the area at the base always have a different shade than the nail plate itself.
Lace and Veil
Very gentle and feminine options. They can be performed in classic white color and have very original shades. Despite the apparent complexity, it can be repeated even at home. The easiest way is to purchase the appropriate stickers.
Floral motifs
Which girl doesn’t like flowers? But they can be located not only in a vase, but also on clothes and nails. Floral motifs are especially relevant in spring and summer. A light summer dress and manicure with delicate tulips or forget-me-nots will create a romantic look. A beautiful evening dress in red can be complemented with bright roses on the fingers.
And do not worry if you do not know how to draw. Special stencils, stamps and stickers will come to your aid.
Marble
One of the latest trends in manicure, which, despite its originality, is very popular. It’s not necessary to make all nails marble, it may not look very elegant. But the emphasis on one or more fingers will make the manicure original and stylish.
Divorce
The easiest way to perform stains is to paint on wet varnish. It is enough to drip varnishes of different shades on certain areas of the nail and make stains with a thin brush.
At the same time, it will be quite convenient to work with shellac. After all, it will not dry out as quickly as ordinary varnish. So, you can take your time with the embodiment of your plan and make beautiful multi-layer stains.
Watercolor painting
Realizing it without certain drawing skills will be quite difficult. But for masters of manicure, such a task is quite within reach. Watercolor drawings look very elegant due to the smooth transition of color and blurry borders.
Volumetric drawings
They are performed using gel or acrylic. Masters of their craft can depict absolutely any small sculpture according to your desire. For convenience, this is sometimes done not on the nail itself, but on the working surface. Then the finished element is attached to the nail.
In specialized stores you can find ready-made products. They are inexpensive, but look simply amazing. At the same time, you can color them yourself in the right shade.
Cat's eye
On sharp long nails, the cat-eye technique looks especially impressive. The light strip in this case can go either to a sharp tip, or be located diagonally. In order to see this effect in all its glory it is better to choose dark or saturated shades.
